Between the trade shows in Montpellier and Angers, I had the good fortune to spend 2 days in the Gaillac region of France visiting our biodynamic producer Nicolas Lebrun of l’Enclos des Braves. Wait, where? It’s just northeast of the city of Toulouse, in the Southwest part of the country. Wait, what? OK, OK, take […]

Yes, I’ve written about this place before, but frankly it’s worth revisiting. Another hidden gem just outside the sacrosanct boundaries of Manhattan, this restaurant offers some of the best Thai food in the city, if not the best. I have a friend who says that another place, which I will visit soon, is better, but […]

My first week in Paris, I joined fellow blogger and good friend Sharon at her place for a fantastic lunch. A British expat, Neil, also joined us, as did my wife, who had just landed and courageously ignored the jet-lag trying to drag her down. After picking her up from the Air France shuttle, we […]

My mother decided to invite me to lunch to celebrate my birthday a few days early as I will be away on the Big Day. Lo and behold, she dragged me to Jean-Georges restaurant for a leisurely (ie 3 hour) lunch. Now I know where I get this love of slow food from… This was […]

Worse, too much bad natural wine is bring imported for the sake of being natural and not necessarily quality. […]

Let’s face it, Bordeaux has been boring for a long time. The region is known for high-end, high-quality, high-cost wines that only the 1% can afford. The other wines? Well, there’s a flood of innocuous to downright nasty stuff being made by thousands of small domaines, all struggling since most of what they make stinks. […]

If you can’t tell, I really like Beaujolais, or at least Gamay, the main red grape of the region (but grown elsewhere, as is evident with Olivier Bellanger’s gorgeously mineral Gamay from the Loire). There’s nothing like having something that tastes like it should be a simple easy going red actually turn out to be […]
